Leviticus 23:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:29

For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in
that same day
That is, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem explain it, which can fast and does not fast; for a sick person, and a child under nine years of age, were not obliged to fast on this day {p}:

he shall be cut off from among his people;
by an untimely death, by the hand of God; the Targum of Jonathan says, by the pestilence.

Leviticus 23:29 In-Context

27 “Be careful to celebrate the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of that same month—nine days after the Festival of Trumpets. You must observe it as an official day for holy assembly, a day to deny yourselves and present special gifts to the LORD .

28 Do no work during that entire day because it is the Day of Atonement, when offerings of purification are made for you, making you right with the LORD your God.

29 All who do not deny themselves that day will be cut off from God’s people.

30 And I will destroy anyone among you who does any work on that day.

31 You must not do any work at all! This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation wherever you live.
